This Damage-Free Christmas Decor Hack Helps You Hang Garland In Any Entryway Of Your Home Using A Curtain Rod
Countless Christmas lovers around the country and abroad are already decking the halls in anticipation of the happiest time of year.
But whether you live in an apartment or simply don’t feel like damaging your walls, hanging decor throughout your home can seem like it’s out of reach.
Well, with the latest TikTok-viral curtain rod hack, you can solve this annual problem and transform your living space into a cozy, festive abode.
Most of us usually save garland to line our staircase railings or adorn our front porches. Now, with a simple curtain rod, you can hang garland displays in any archway, doorway, window, or even sliding doors of your house!
Plenty of influencers have shown off their takes on this trend, but blogger @thekwendyhome demonstrated how easy this damage-free decor technique is in a step-by-step video.
To get started, all you need is a shower curtain rod. You can pick up a new one at the store or take one out of your guest bathroom. That’s actually what @thekwendyhome did!
Next, find a walkway in your space and install the tension rod. There’s no need to set it up at its intended height, either. Simply open up the rod at a manageable height so you can work on decorating it afterward.
Then, grab your favorite garland and begin wrapping it around the pole in a snake-like fashion. You can go as loose or tight as you want! Just try to keep the ends an even length so they look symmetrical when they hang down.
If you have any gaps, you can fill them in by poking and weaving through other accessories, such as faux greenery or flowers. Plus, you can take your garland display to the next level by incorporating wrapped twinkly lights, tied bows, strings of beads, or hanging ornaments.

Once you’re satisfied with the finished result, it’s time to move your shower rod into the proper position. Grab a step stool, hop on, and carefully release the tension in your shower rod to move it up to the top of your walkway.
At that point, tighten the rod’s tension again to secure it. You now have a gorgeous hanging garland in the heart of your home with no mess or stress!
Whether you use this hack in one or multiple areas of your house, it can truly make your space feel magical.
The TikTok video posted by @thekwendyhome has received over 1.2 million likes, and countless users are in love with this apartment-friendly and even cat-friendly decor method.
Also, for anyone concerned about the shower rod falling down, @thekwendyhome addressed this worry in the comment section.
“I was afraid of this, so I tested this out for a few days before I shared! So far, so good. I also think it’s how well-made the shower curtain rod is,” she wrote.
Sprucing up your space in time for the holidays can’t get any easier than this. Where do you plan to use this hack in your home?
@thekwendyhome Here’s a Christmas decorating hack for you! Damage free garland hanging with a shower curtain rod! I had to try it for myself after seeing @Letneeutro do it! I took the shower curtain from our guest bathroom and tested this out for myself. It has held up really well! I even put my heavy Norfolk pine garlands on and it didn’t budge. This is perfect for renters and those who don’t want to put nails in their walls. And an added bonus is that you don’t get a crick in your neck or get tired arms from decorating ? I linked everything on my LTK in my bio. Now go forth and deck those halls. #deckthehalls #christmasdecorating #christmas #christmas2023 #christmasdecor #decorhack #decorhacks #christmashack #christmashacks #garland #christmasgarland #christmasgarlandhack #homedecor #damagefreedecor #rentalfriendlydecor
